00:03 | Paris (France), Nov. 30.

On Monday, Peruvian President Ollanta Humala will participate in a series of official activities comprised in the UN 21st Conference on Climate Change (COP21).

In 2015 COP21 —also known as the 2015 Paris Climate Conference— will for the first time in over 20 years of UN negotiations aim to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2°C.

Mr. Humala —along with other 150 Heads of State and Government— will join the opening ceremony of COP21 followed by a Leaders Event at the Loire Room. The Peruvian official will be the first speaker.

Representatives —without Presidents— will continue negotiating a planetary agreement against feared climate change from Tuesday thru December 11th.

The Head of State is also due to open the Peru Pavilion at COP21 headquarters, where he will give a brief speech before attending the launch of a communiqué on inefficient fossil fuel subsidy reforms.

Later, he will attend a high-level event on forests and climate change and take part in the photo to support the leaders’ declaration on that matter.

After that, Mr. Humala will join the official luncheon offered by French President François Hollande and Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius before joining a high-level event on resilience.

As part of his official agenda, he is expected to hold a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Likewise, he will meet with Federica Mogherini, current High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
